  2. PAPER it: add pattern & texture to your pumpkin by covering it with super cute scrapbook paper!
  3. PATTERN it: paint polk-a-dots, stripes, or any other fun, abstract pattern you can think of!
  4. POUR it: By simply adding FLOTROL to acrylic paint you can create fluid moving paint and an exciting, satisfying form of art!
